The Yearbook of the "Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad" - Wie, Wat, Waar 1941
has two pages with burgees.
Adelborsten Roei- en Zeilvereniging, Willemsoord - blue burgee
with at top hoist a white crown, and at hoist bottom a white
anchor.
Adelborsten are seacadets, being trained in the marine-estalishment
Willemsoord in Den Helder (Noord-Holland) (KIM - Koninklijk Instituut voor
de Marine). This club was prohibited by the Germans in 1940.

The Yearbook of the "Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad" - Wie, Wat, Waar 1941
has two pages with burgees.
Groninger Roei vereniging "Aegir", Groningen. A white burgee
with a red five-pointed star.
Aegir is the rowing club of the student society "Vindicat atque
Polit", the largest society. It was founded in 1878 and is still going
strong.

Dutch student rowing clubs in general don't use burgees, just the club-flag.
For the Groninger "Aegir" student society only a rectangular flag is used.

The Yearbook of the "Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad" - Wie, Wat, Waar 1941
has two pages with burgees.
Watersport Vereniging "Aegir", Hillegersberg (Rotterdam) - a red burgee
with at the hoist a white saltire.
It has its own homepage. Now named
Watersport
Vereniging Aegir, Rotterdam, founded 16 Jun 1926 - it still uses the
same burgee.
There are several clubs named Aegir, the most notable being in Groningen.

The Yearbook of the "Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad" - Wie, Wat, Waar 1941
has two pages with burgees.
Alkmaarsche Roei- en Zeilvereniging, Alkmaar (Noord-Holland) - white
with a red diamond charged with a white castle.
That is still the club's logo - see its
homepage - it was founded in 1910 and has at present 900 members. The
burgee has remained the same; the castle is the city
of Alkmaar's factotum.

The WSV Almere-Haven is a watersports club of some 600 members, evenly divided
between sail boats and motor boats. Its website is at
http://www.wsvalmerehaven.nl. Rather
noticeable at those pages is the rectangular image as a logo where most YC have
a burgee depiction in that spot.
Indeed, at
http://www.wsvalmerehaven.nl/images/pdf/HHR-THR-Tarieven-WSV--2017.pdf we
learn:
"Huishoudelijk Reglement
datum 20-6-2017
Artikel 11
De vlag
van de WSV Almere-Haven
11.1
De hoofdkleur is geel met als motief een
witte duif met een olijftakje in de snavel en een verticale blauw gegolfde lijn.
De verhouding tussen hoogte en lengte is 2:3.
11.2
Wat betreft de plaats
waar de WSV vlag op een vaartuig moet worden gevoerd, dient men zich te houden
aan de bestaande traditie ..."
By-laws
date 20-6-2017
Article 11
The flag of the WSV Almere-Haven
11.1
The main colour is yellow with as
motive a white dove with an olive branch in its beak and a vertical blue wavy
line. The ratio between height and length is 2:3.
11.2
As for the place
where the WSV flag should be carried on a vessel, one ought to adhere to the
existing tradition ...
Clearly this is a members flag, but no mention is
made of a triangular shape. Considering the depiction, it would seem likely that
these really are rectangular.
Curiously, that is not the interpretation
of Eredivisie Zeilen (Premier Division Sailing), who do consider the shape to be
triangular, and who keep the wavy blue line free from the hoist.

Watersportvereniging De Amer, after image on this
website: triband RWR with in the center a blue diamond. De Amer was
founded in 1941, and is situated in Drimmelen (Noord-Brabant).

Watersportvereniging Amsterdam, after image on this
site: blue burgee with in the center, reaching fly and hoist, a red
diamond, charged with a blue letter A. This club was founded 27 Jan 1918,
and is situated at the entrance to the "Amsterdamsche Bosch", a
large forest area where you least expect it.

by Jarig Bakker, 14 Aug 2004
The Yearbook of the "Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad" - Wie, Wat, Waar 1941
has two pages with burgees.
Wageningsche Studenten Roei Vereniging "Argo", Wageningen (Gelderland).
Flag: horizontal green - white - green, with at top hoist an ancient sail/rowing
ship above something (perhaps the golden fleece, perhaps the name???),
all white.
At its homepage is a nearly identical
flag, with even unclearer device.
Jarig Bakker, 14 Aug 2004
The "thingy" below the ship is indeed nothing else than a name-tag:
a rectangle charged with the letters "ARGO".
